Recenzje

“This book, grounded in more than a decade of partnership work, offers compelling ethical and practical guidance to scholars seeking to learn how to engage in community-based participatory research that embodies a pluralistic stance toward knowledge-building and that works toward educational justice. Its detailed portraits of meeting agendas, dilemmas and ideological tensions of research practice, and jointly constructed artifacts of inquiry provide exemplary models for how to center care, relationship, and justice in research.” -- William Penuel, Distinguished Professor, Learning Sciences and Human Development, University of Colorado Boulder, USA

“I cannot imagine a more indispensable resource for community-based scholarship! Drawing on rich theory and community knowledges, engrossing narratives, and detailed examples and photos, the authors elaborate the complexities, relationalities, and profound ontologies of collaborative inquiry between university-based researchers, youth, families, communities, and educators. They bring the often-abstract dimensions of partnering with communities to life with piercing, vulnerable insights from their long-standing efforts to realize research methodologies of love in pursuit of pluralistic knowledge and tangible change with and in communities. If you have ever wondered how research might transform its extractive, colonizing legacy to reckon with power, live radical solidarity, and imagine different worlds in the making, look no further than this book to light our way forward!” -- Ann Ishimaru, Associate Professor, Educational Foundations, Leadership, and Policy, University of Washington College of Education, USA

“Methods for Community-Based Research: Advancing Educational Justice and Epistemic Rights is a book for our times.  As more communities demand research be conducted “with” rather than “on” them, Ghiso and Campano illuminate the way forward. This book is a compass for fostering collaboration between researchers and communities, paving the way to a more just education system. Through compelling research, this text showcases the transformative power of Community-Based Research, emphasizing community involvement, cultural sensitivity, and empowerment as the cornerstones of change. Ghiso and Campano show that CBRE is more than a methodology; it’s a philosophy that respects the wisdom and agency of those most impacted by educational inequities. This book is a guide to conducting research that is not only respectful and inclusive but also effective.” -- Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz, Professor of English Education, Teachers College, Columbia University, USA
